\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Qualifying for the Window World 250 was abandoned due to inclement weather, which meant the grid was set based on the performance metric.<\/p>\n

That metric is based on 70 percent of the previous race finish and 30 percent of the owner points.<\/p>\n

Team Penske\u2019s Ryan Blaney, who won at Atlanta, will start on pole position with Joe Gibbs Racing\u2019s Ty Gibbs alongside him.<\/p>\n

The top 10 is completed by Christopher Bell, Carson Hocevar, Tyler Reddick, Erik Jones, Denny Hamlin, van Gisbergen, Chris Buescher and Chase Elliott.<\/p>\n

Trackhouse Racing driver Ross Chastain was set to start 13th but will start from the rear after his car failed technical inspections three times.<\/p>\n

Chastain lost his pit selection and a crew member and will have to serve a drive-through penalty.<\/p>\n
